A Prayer for Tuesday, August 28, 2012

I, Me, Mine

O God,

Help me today to begin less of my thoughts with “I” and more of them with “You”; to have as the object of my actions less “me” and more “you,” and to be less concerned with what is “mine” and more with what is “yours.”

And help me to remember to pray this prayer whether those second person pronouns refer to you, O God, or to another person or to other people.

Help me to direct my thoughts, actions, and concerns more toward all of y’all than toward me.
